Place for My Head
Linkin Park (Www.Safalbum.Biz) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do
Favors and then rapidly, you just
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known
That you'd
Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone
I'm so
Sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so
Sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Shut up
I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place, to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
In "A Place For My Head," Linkin Park speaks about being sick and tired of someone who has been taking advantage of them. This person would help them out occasionally, only to demand things back in return at a later time. The singer is tired of owing them something and wants to find a place to rest away from this "enemy" who keeps draining their energy. Towards the end of the song, the singer realizes that maybe someday they too could turn into someone like the person they are running away from, someone who steps on others and runs away from those they once knew.
The moon and sun metaphor used in the opening lines of the song is about the unequal and unreciprocated relationship between two elements, just like the situation between the singer and the person they're addressing. They may have done some favors for the singer, but without a sense of balance or reciprocity, the favors become more like debts owed. The "other place" the singer wishes to be in is a negative space, free of the person's abuse and greed.

I watch how the moon
sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
The sun and moon's natural and harmonious relationship reminds me of how you do me favors, only to expect something in return
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do
Favors and then rapidly, you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
Your behavior towards me echoes the sun and moon, as you often do me favors, but then quickly turn around and expect something in return
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm fed up with the constant tension and demands you put on me, and I need a place to rest from your greed and selfishness
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
I want to be away from you and your negativity, and find a place where I can thrive, not just survive- a place for my peace of mind and well-being
Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
Maybe someday I'll become just like you- selfish and self-centered, and end up pushing away the same people I once called my friends
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known
That you'd
Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone
You used to be a good person- calm, strong and generous, but you've worn out your welcome with your selfishness and now you see how lonely it can be when no one wants to be around you
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You constantly try to take advantage of me and my kindness, but I've had enough- go away
Shut up
I don't want to hear your excuses or demands anymore- just shut up

I lost my best friend of 20+ years to suicide on March 12 of 2017. I was absolutely devastated.
He meant more to me than anyone in my family. We were inseparable. A few months later is when
I found out that Chester took his own life. I'm 38 right now so when Linkin Park dropped Hybrid Theory
I was in Highschool during the most impressionable years of my life. Linkin Park absolutely took over
the life of every kid that was my age. It didn't matter if you were a fan of their genre or not, EVERYBODY
loved Linkin Park! Linkin Park was one of only a few bands that actually got me into listening to more
than just rap music. I still remember getting a ride from a friend in Highschool over to this girl Miranda's
house that I had a huge crush on.. and during the ride to her house we were playing the Hybrid Theory
album. I remember being so excited because at that time I was a virgin, and I knew this girl was into me.
The anxiety of not knowing what was going to happen. But knowing that I was a young teenager in love.
That was over 20 years ago and I still remember every detail as though it happened last week.
Fast forward to today. It's been just over 5 years since losing my best friend to suicide. I blamed myself
for several years that followed. Mostly because I missed his text and his call on the day that he took his
life. It took me a very long time to even feel like things would be ok. I wasn't able to snap out of the dark
depression it lead me into until fairly recently. In fact, I'd probably still be in the same situation if it weren't
for the fact that my ex wife finally allowed my son to come live with me. He's 13 years old now and this is
the first year where he's been with me the entire time. It's brought life to my very dark world. I continue on
for the love of my son. I continue on because I know how heart broken I was to lose my best friend.
No matter how much pain we're in.. there are *ALWAYS OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THAT LOVE YOU*.
The song that was playing?
I watch how the moon
Sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do
Favors then rapidly, you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head!
Rest in Paradise

Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place, to feed your greed (stay away from me)
While I find a place to rest
